Life threatening emergency Heart stops beating/beating irregularly or
weakly to circulate blood Signs + symptoms: unconsciousness, no
pulse Can occur without warning

Combination of rescue breaths and chest compressions
Circulates blood and oxygen – DOES NOT RE-START THE HEART
Increases the chances of survival CPR techniques are modified for body size

When two rescuers begin CPR together…◦ FIRST rescuer does the initial assessment and
the SECOND rescuer gets into position to do chest compressions
◦ If there is no breathing/pulse, first rescuer says, “BEGIN CPR!”
◦ Change about every 2 minutes
◦ **Always, always call your compressions out loud!!**
